At the Ayer Keroh Sessions Court, a woman who works as a masseuse, pleaded not guilty to a charge for ill-treating her son nearly a decade ago, when the boy was only five years old.

The 40-year-old mother, Fam Yean Ping, who was arrested yesterday, was alleged to have caned the victim on the face and body.

This allegedly caused the boy - the second of four siblings, to sustain bruises on the head, eyes and body.

The woman was accused of committing the offence at a shop house at Jalan Kampung Jawa, Melaka Tengah on April 21, 2009.

She was charged under the Child Act which provides for a maximum fine of RM 20,000 or a jail term of up to 10 years, or both, upon conviction.

Judge Meor Sulaiman allowed the mother to be released on a RM 10,000 bail in one surety and set March 1st for mention.
